    Difference Between TCP and UDP: Reliability Reliability

    Uploaded by

    Varun Bharadwaj
    TCP is a connection-oriented protocol that ensures reliable delivery of data through acknowledgments and retransmissions. It provides ordered and error-checked delivery of packets but requires more processing overhead. UDP is a simpler connectionless protocol that does not ensure delivery or order packets but has less overhead and is better for real-time applications like streaming media. The key differences are that TCP provides reliability, ordering, and error checking while UDP provides lower latency at the cost of these reliability features.
